Finally a complete family
After 2 years and 1 month since referral we finally have our daughter home. It has been a worldwind 2 weeks. I was notified last Thursday that I could and should come get my daughter as soon as possible. I flew out on Sunday, took custody on Monday and went to the Embassy to renew her visa (which had expired in January). We flew home on Wednesday and it has been wonderful. Angela is 3 1/2 years old and it's been a blast getting to know her, she has the most loving sweet personality. She also has a rough and tumble side. I never thought this day would come, I keep pinching myself.
